TrustedHousesitters

I want to travel for free by looking after someone's pets while they're away — or I need a reliable sitter for my own animals.

Pet owners list sits with dates; sitters apply and stay in the home rent-free in exchange for caring for the animals.

Why it rocks

✓Genuine free accommodation — no nightly fees, just the annual membership.
✓Spain has thousands of active listings, including long sits that work well for remote workers.
✓Works in reverse too: if you have pets, you get vetted sitters without agency costs.
✓Reviews on both sides build quickly, making it easier to get approved sits over time.

Heads up

✗A $12 per-sit fee applies on Basic and Standard plans for owners — worth noting if you list multiple sits.
✗Availability is competitive in peak summer; apply early and have a full profile before you need it.

Cost: Sitter €129–259/yr; owner €149–299/yr (per-sit fee on non-Premium)
